Benson of the College of En gineering. ■Foundation excavation for the i * 1.3 million center is complete U Id the main footings have been lured. Basement construction (liflfisnow in progress, eflici |Designed by architect William nee, tjl Nash of Bryan, the center is plated across from the Cyclo- j mjl'ln Institute. It will house the I'ctittlan and his staff, the depart- gHjlits of chemical, electrical, in- strial, mechanical and nuclear ineering, the Texas Engineer- dusti pi' ing Experiment Station and Tex as A&M Research Foundation. The building will also have fa cilities and laboratories for grad uate work in all disciplines. The ground level floor will have a nuclear reactor, with the sub-critical and accelerator room directly above the second floor. The sub-critical and accelera tor room will have walls, ceilings and a floor of four-foot concrete lined with one-inch steel plate. The door will also be four feet thick and lined with steel plate. Merchant pointed out the door alone will weigh 21 tons. Three lecture rooms are in cluded in the building. One has a seating capacity of 320 people and a 17-foot diameter stage that will revolve 360 degrees. The other two lecture rooms will each have a seating capacity of 130 persons. Merchant said there will be 373 rooms and 324,400 gross square feet. The sub-basement, a small room, will house variable con trol vibration equipment for a Human Factors Laboratory. Exterior construction will be pre-cast and cast-in-plate con crete using pre-cast exposed ag gregate and poured architectural concrete panels. The pre-cast panels will contain the air ducts and other piping, and will be used for the same purpose if two floors are added later. (Continued from Page 1) would not be allowed to know who was taking the course on a pass- fail basis. Mauro said the major argu ment in favor of a limited pass- fail system at A&M is that stu dents would be encouraged to take “hard” courses that would broad en their general education with out fear of hurting their GPR’s. In other business, senators unanimously commended Annella Wright, Aggie Sweetheart 1968- 69, for her “unique charm and friendliness” and “outstanding devotion as Aggie Sweetheart.” The Senate, in the resolution proposed by Parliamentarian Ron nie Adams, expressed a “most sincere ‘Thank you' to a young lady who will always remain ‘our Aggie Sweetheart’.” Senators also approved John Sharp as A&M’s Texas Inter collegiate Student Association co ordinator.

Ronald E. Crane, officer selection officer for Central Texas. Mitchell won the award for outstanding performance as an officer candidate in the Marine Corps’ Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) program last summer at Quantico, Va. Look ing on is Thomas Hoysa, senior and commanding officer of the A&M chapter of the Semper Fidelis Society. Experimenter to Australia Condry Planning To Go Back Aga in Tom Condry, A&M senior in agricultural economics from An- gleton, has found his place in the world — down under. He’s set his sights on working with an agricultural firm in Aus tralia. Tom, who will be 22 this month, believes he will just na turally gravitate back to the world’s smallest continent (or largest island, depending on viewpoint) where he spent last summer through the Experiment in International Living. Designed to promote interna tional good will on the premise that a person best learns to understand another people by living among them, EIL in Con- dry’s case won him to the Aus- sies, lock, stock and barrel. The majority of A&M’s Exper imenters over recent years say they would like to re-visit the countries and their families. Condry vows he will — to live and work. “When we got off the plane in Hawaii on the way home, I wanted to get on another plane and go back,” he remarked. Tom, the only 1969 A&M Ex perimenter who didn’t go to Eur ope, lived with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Saunderson at Leeton in New South Wales, about 300 miles west of Sydney and the same distance north of Melbourne. On Little Done On Planning, Golladay Says A Pittsburg management con sultant feels business planning is a lot like the weather. “Every body talks about it, but nobody does anything about it.” Maury L. Golladay, vice presi dent of Planning Dynamics, Inc., spoke Thursday to 35 executives attending the university’s 17th semi-annual management sem inar. He said increasing rates of change in consumer require ments, markets and competition make it imperative that organiz ations develop a process of plan ning and control. “To increase profitability the effectiveness o f management must be increased,” Golladay de clared. “To achieve good man agement, the effectiveness of planning must be increased.” A regular seminar speaker, Golladay emphasized that about 98 per cent of organized plan ning is done in a manner that makes it impossible to accom plish desired results. He estimated 50 per cent is of dubious value and 25 per cent of all planning is detrimental. the tour portion of the Experi ment, he and 10 other Experi menters visited both of the ma jor cities, Australian capital Can berra and other points along Australia’s populous east coast. The Memorial Student Center Travel Committee and Senior MSC Council member said bene fits from the trip, other than finding his future, included “en richment of my own life, the op portunity to meet people and work out U.S. visits with two friends I made there.” He also made jaunts to New Zealand and the Fiji Islands. A&M students interested in finding out more about EIL may meet with the Travel Commit tee in the MSC Tuesday. Ernest Johnson of Weatherford, who was an experimenter to Poland, and Gary Martin of Houston, who went to Sweden, will have a slide presentation. Condry suspects the experi ence will motivate him. “I’ll study harder so I can get out of here and back to Aus tralia,” he grinned. OUTFIT PICTURES AGGIELAND ’70 Uniform will be Class A Winter.
